    I love this!! I do it for 10 minutes everyday. Do you know how many calories it burns? What category do you put it under?

    I was wondering if anyone counted their Wii fit exercise calories!! We got a Wii for Christmas, and the Wii Fit, and I LOVE IT! I spent an hour on it this morning, and I think my favorite one is the hula hooping!! Gosh, my body is SO SORE this afternoon! LOL! Must be working!

    I think when I get bored (or master!) the Wii fit game, I am interested in getting the My Fitness Coach.

    I found hoola hooping under the cardio database and use that. It varies for me... I can burn about 56 calories for 10 minutes.

    Yup, love it!!

    I log it as cardio because I end up puffing like a loon..

    I find it works really well on my legs as well as my abs because of all the stabilization while I am twirling..

    My kids love to watch because they are usually the ones tossing me hoops and they cheer when I miss :grumble: :grumble:

    I got the Active Life Outdoor Challenge for the Wii for Christmas, but haven't gotten a chance to play. I got salmonella poisoning (merry christmas janiebeth) the day after Christmas, and have just started to feel OK.. Never want to go through that again.

    I'm glad that you asked about this. Our family just got a Wii and I like the hula hoop games and the yoga/strength parts for toning. I feel my abs and hips in ways I have never felt before, LOL.

    I was hoping that I could use Wii Fit for cardio on days when the weather makes it hard or impossible to run outdoors. So far I have not found a decent cardio workout. The running in place and free step are unlocked for 30 min. I barely sweat and it is pretty boring. I like the step class because it is fun but it only lasts for 6 min. Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the class to say 30 minutes?

    On the step class, once you continue mastering it, more times will open up on it. I am pretty sure you can get up to 20 or 30 minutes. But not positive. I will have to check tomorrow morning.

    Once you "master" the first 2 step aerobic workouts, then you get to free style - which you can select, 10 min - 20 min or 30 min for a workout. I just did the 20 minute, dang I'm tired!! I love the wii fit as well.

    I can't find it in the database either. Someone said they found it under cardio but I can't see it. I just log it under general aerobics.

    What stage are you on of the hula hoop? 200 is great, it takes a while to work up to that amount. I have been doing the 10 min Super Hula Hoop every single day for a little over a week now. Some days are better than others. Good luck on it. How do you like the "my fitness coach"?

    i haven't done the fit for months. got bored with it.
    i LOVE the my fitness coach. it's like having an instructor right there with you. you don't need the fit to use it. i just posted a reply in the post for jillian michaels game. there is a huge difference in the two.
    someday i will get back on the fit again.
    keep spinning.

    Does anyone JUST use Wii Fit for their exercise? Right now, I have just been using it when I don't want to wander out in the cold to go to the gym.

    Is it effective enough to just use that?

    Just wondering how much I can rely on it in the cold weather!

    How can you keep it going for so long!?!???

    I just unlocked the 3 minute super hoola and I was ready to collapse halfway through it!! I even loose the rhythm and look so weird doing it!!

    Well I love the Wii Fit but I use many other things for exercise other than that. For me personally I don't get enough of a calorie burn on the Wii Fit as doing some other activities. I totally understand the not wanting to go out in the cold. I am fortunate to have a treadmill, bike, and elliptical at my house for me to use. You may want to look into some DVDs that you are able to use at home. You can get a huge calorie burn from these and stay in your home. I personally like the TurboJam Dvds but there are several that people recommend.

    I hope this helps in your questions. Feel free to message me.:flowerforyou:
